Abstract

1527049 Automatic control PILKINGTON P E Ltd 30 May 1977 [18 June 1976] 25325/76 Heading G3N [Also in Division B7] A head-up display system for an observer, in which a CRT 1 is mounted on a helmet 2 and a display is combined through a plate 4 with the outside scene, is provided with a correspondence control arrangement whereby the display appears spatially fixed when the observer's head moves. This is effected by the use of a reflector 14 mounted at the rear of the helmet and a beamsplitting block 16, interposed between a CRT 13 and a camera tube 10 coupled through a closed circuit television control device 12 to the display CRT 1. In a simple arrangement a graticule is mounted on the helmet scanned by the camera tube 10, and, in an alternative embodiment, the close-circuit link 10, 12 and 1 is replaced by a fibre-optic link.
